“Friends… I want to assure you all that I am as shocked and bewildered at these claims as you must feel reading them,” he wrote. “The events he describes back in the 1980s simply did not occur, and I do not know why he has claimed them now. I have wracked my brain to ask if I remember Mr. Brunton, and I cannot say I do.”

Brunton said he met Takei, who came out as a gay man in 2005, when he was a 23-year-old waiter and aspiring model/actor. Brunton claimed he went out with Takei after breaking up with his boyfriend at the time and the two ended up at Takei’s condominium.

After a second drink, Brunton said he began “feeling very disoriented and dizzy” and eventually “passed out” in a beanbag chair.

“The next thing I remember I was coming to and he had my pants down around my ankles and he was groping my crotch and trying to get my underwear off and feeling me up at the same time, trying to get his hands down my underwear,” Brunton said. “I came to and said, ‘What are you doing?!’ I said, ‘I don’t want to do this.’ He goes, ‘You need to relax. I am just trying to make you comfortable. Get comfortable.’ And I said, ‘No. I don’t want to do this.’ And I pushed him off and he said, ‘OK, fine.’ And I said I am going to go.”

Brunton said he composed himself and left.

THR said it spoke to four longtime friends of Brunton who said that he had confided in them about the Takei encounter years ago.

Brunton said he was inspired to speak out after Takei made a statement against Kevin Spacey when the House of Cards star was charged with harassing actor Anthony Rapp.
